Poster is just a blow-up of the YouTube trailer thumbnail? Marketing team must've been working overtime.

It's the other way around, the YouTube trailer thumbnail is just a shrink-down of the poster.
I really like Mr. Saturday Night and wanted to see Crystal direct some more, but this doesn't look like one I can watch willingly.

Gotta say, I'm disappointed Billy didn't find a role for Gheorghe Muresan.

I think this looks good. Predictable but good.
Of course, I mostly like Tiffany Haddish. I suppose that would be a huge factor in whether this is worth a watch or not for people.

Regal sent me an email to watch the trailer and get 300 points to my Regal account. So I did watch it just now. It looks charming. I know a lot of people don't like Tiffany Haddish, but she can be likeable and charming with the right material.
I guess judging by the trailer that Crystal's character has Alzheimer's or Dementia and Haddish will eventually become his caretaker. I'll watch this eventually. Not sure this screams going to the theater to view it, but I'll see it.

Standing Up, Falling Down a movie Crystal did in 2019 was not that bad and maybe this has a similar theme with some melancholy.

Did anyone else see Forget Paris? I think Crystal directed that as well. Totally unwatchable. I was kinda torn on Mr Saturday Night. On one hand I thought the supporting actors were great, but Crystal's characters was so awful and self destructive that it was a chore for me to make it to the end of the film. This looks okay but I will wait for a home release.
